it is only contagious as long as you have the serum on you. once you take a shower and get it off of you it is no longer contagious, but you need to make sure anything that came in contact with it needs to be washed as well if not the person that touches it could get it also. if you burst a blister it is not contagious the blisters are a natural reaction from our body to get rid of it.

Does burning dead poison oak in wood stove put off a poison gas?

Burning poison oak (or poison ivy or poison sumac) can release the urushiol, which is the oily substance in poison oak that many (but not all) people have strong reactions to. Worse, the urushiol will be carried in the smoke from the fire, and it will get into the lungs of anyone who breathes in the smoke. If you think that having poison oak on your arms and legs is bad, just imagine having that poison oak reaction on the inside of your lungs.Bottom line: do not ever burn poison oak.
